How You Know It's Love

Chapters:

"You can't tell me that they've gone through every box of
cereal?!"
"I told you not to buy the ones with surprises in them. I even
told you while we were there in the shop. I said, if you buy
those for the kids-"
"They'll open them and make a mess trying to find the toy. I
know."
Rave Sawyer gave a very triumphant grin to her husband and
shrugged her shoulders when he pouted at her. She giggled when he
reached out to pull her to him, the grin turning into a loving
smile as he kissed her soundly.
"You should learn from this," She mumbled against his lips,
another grin fast appearing on her features. "I'm obviously
always right so you should always listen to me and my
wisdom."
Oscar rolled his eyes and growled lightly, making her laugh
again, "What are you talking about? I always listen to you..most
of the time? Whenever you're not wrong?"
Yet another laugh escaped her and she swatted at him, ignoring
his complaints about letting her go. Obviously he had to because
he had to go to the store to pick up more cereal. She was hungry,
damnit!
"Mmmhm, yes, I know, I'm so cuddly it's a shame. But Oscar..I
want cereal. I want cereal and I also want grapefruits. You can't
deny the wishes of your loving wife." She told him, moving over
to the fridge where she could get the juice out. "Plus, your
equally fantastic kids will be awake soon and they'll be hungry.
Do you want me to tell them that daddy forgot to provide for
their favourite meal of the day?" His expression, a mix between
guilt and fear, was enough for her. "Exactly. So hop to it,
love."
"Grawr!" He swooped over to her, making her screech lightly and
burst out laughing when he wrapped his arms around her from
behind, attacking her neck with light bites."You're so lucky I'm
in love with you and don't mind your silly pregnancy cravings."
His final comment was accentuated with a sweet kiss to her cheek,
his hand smoothing over her already swollen stomach, and she
tried to catch her breath when he went to grab his keys. He left
the house with the promise of being back as soon as possible, and
she moved to wave him off from the door.

Now that the house was quiet again, Rave took a moment for
herself. A smile curled the corners of her lips as she thought
about how happy she was in her life right at that moment. She was
married to the man she loved, they had two beautiful children
with a third on the way and Oscar made sure none of them ever
wanted for anything. He'd secured a job in his best friend's
father's company which was well paid with a very neat bonus at
the end of the year too. Though, she knew that no matter what
their situation, as long as she had her family everything was
perfect. Sighing in contentment, she went to pour herself a glass
of the juice Oscar had distracted her from and then looked around
the kitchen. She'd decided that she was going to do some cleaning
that day but..maybe she could start in their bedroom. At least
then the bed would be right there after she gave up halfway
through for a nap. The thought made her chuckle and she placed
her empty glass in the sink, leaving it for later--or when Oscar
got back--and heading off up the stairs.
Taking a quick look into the children's rooms she was happy to
see them still asleep, then continued down the hall to the master
bedroom. This was probably her favourite room in the house, aside
from the bathroom, because they were completely her's. Oscar had
let her decorate the bedroom and make as girly as she wanted it;
especially now that they had kids who made a mess in every room
they were allowed in. The bathroom, of course, was her own little
oasis where she could just relax and forget the world outside the
door. It was brilliant.

Flopping onto the bed she snuggled into the pillows for a moment,
sorely tempted to just get back under the covers and never come
out, but then her gaze fell onto the bay window seat. There,
sticking out from behind the cushions, was a book. At first she
thought it was a story book that Oscar must've been reading to
the kids, but it wasn't. Frowning at it she could just make out
the letters 'rnal'. What did that even mean? Reluctantly sitting
up, she padded over and pulled the cushion away. 'Journal'. Rave
stared for a moment and then she picked it up, glancing behind
her as if Oscar would suddenly be stood there watching. Of
course, she knew it was his, since she was far superior in
finding hiding places. Obviously she was; she hid the kid's
presents for their birthday and Christmas didn't she? Hell, she
hid Oscar's presents too and she knew for a fact he was the type
to try and look for them.
Casting a quick look out the window, making sure that his car
wasn't pulling back into the drive, she shuffled back to the bed
and stretched out on it. If she was going to have a sneaky look
through it she wanted to at least be comfortable, duh. Another
look towards the door and she flipped to the first entry.
